Hi there, this looks great and certainly seems to come very highly recommended by your daughter. My little girl is almost two so I’m definitely going to try and get this. A good price too for so many stories. Thanks for the tip!
We will treasure our copy forever, it is so well loved and the stories are perfect for two year olds. The CD is great for the car too.
I love the dual text concept of this book so it can also be a read aloud text in a preschool. In small group activity individual children could read for themselves. Vivid illustrations are always important for this age.
I don’t know of any other books that take this dual concept approach but it is a wonderful idea to learn to read with stories that you are already familiar with.
How lovely to have the full set! We have dipped in and out of the Farmyard Tales series and enjoyed them all (most recently the ABC flap book we just reviewed!) They have all been library loans but I can see the benefits of owning them since as you point out they are also good for when your child is learning to read.
It was definitely worth buying the book and CD and I think it is a good price for twenty stories. Our copy is very well read and has stood the test of time. I am very interested in seeing the ABC flap book that you have just reviewed on your blog, it would be great to learn the ABC with old friends 🙂
Mollie loves these. She has the set of separate mini books at Grandma’s house and they are a firm favourite. She is starting to move from finding the duck to reading the top line of text. She is just beginning to read so mainly picks baby books with a single simple word or two that she can read independently. These are a great middle ground.
These are a great alternative to reading books, especially if the child has grown up with the story.The familiarity takes the pressure off having to decode every word. Thankyou for visiting Story Snug 🙂
